By creating pathways into skilled trades, we can pipeline our population into higher-paying, stable careers while building the capacity to support future development.

Quote from @Kelby Schimming: Hi BP, I am trying to work out a seller finance deal with my neighbor who is 100 years old.

While we have our own programs and products (and even have a FL office in the Sarasota area), we're unfortunately out of capacity in FL by this time in the year.

I’ll likely work out some partnership they agree on. 

The lesson here is that EVERYONE (especially mentors/gurus selling their “expertise”) has investments that do not work out as anticipated, one that actually lose money, and one’s that tie up your capital for long periods of time before you get your capital back.  

Hey all,I'm seeking some advice/input to help me work out what's next for me.

What you might consider is finding a partner that has the development capacity, and figure out an equitable development cost and profit split.

I am an ambitious DIYer and have upgraded every part of my personal home in some capacity. 

Plus, if one area doesn’t work out, it’s probably much easier to sell a single-family home than an entire multifamily propertyBut again im not an expert, im actually hoping for some guidance here as well

There are definitely horror stories, but MOST of them work out well.
